Buckingham, Lindsey - Shut Us Down Lyrics






Oh you and I we sure can dream
Of conversations that might have been
I know that I treat you unkind
And long ago I lost my mind

And even after all these years
I can't even see you clear
I know that you must lie sometimes
To hide the truth you're trying to find

Oh I won't shut us down
No I will stay around
As long as I can
As long as I can

Even after all these years
I can't even see you clear
A child is born, another dies
And every life has its price

Oh I won't shut us down
No I will stay around
As long as I can
As long as I can

Buckingham, Lindsey Shut Us Down Comments
  1. M.... M....

    guys like him are really the cream of the crop instrumentalists, no matter which genre, the ability to combine rythm and lead playing, make one instrument sound like 3 or 4 at the same time (when there weren't too many helping gadgets around), and even ace singing on top in some cases

  2. E.... B....

    Elizabeth town brought me here

  3. m.... ....

    He's a beautiful person! :-)

  4. s.... ....

    There's absolutely no one like Lindsey

  5. C.... C....

    His passion when he plays just cuts right through you. So authentic....no one like him. My gosh, the talent in this man, guitar, voice, lyrics, etc......

    Another Lindsey song with the kind of spooky atmospheric sound that would be great in a David Lynch movie.

  11. R.... G....

    A.... S....

  28. b.... ....

    it's like he is playing three different songs at once.

    this is a great song with really intense lyrics, but the guitar performance is simply astounding.

  30. X.... ....

    it's just lindsey buckingham. genius at work.

  31. H.... L....

    That's a bit of a cheap shot. I've known plenty of his work but it was from back in the day, not his more contemporary efforts.

    Such an awesome guitarist, and an awesome song! This is REAL acoustic guitar playing here!

  33. F.... ....
